Country Life TOE EARLY Mix CAN.
Romance, which brought up the nine-fifteen, also brings up the milk-cart and places the can on the doorstep ; and the romantic as well as the business side of our milk industry is brought out in a pamphlet that is perhaps the most important ever produced from the Oxford school of agricultural research. Mr. Prewett, that persistent research worker, has spent some years in investigation of the progress of the milk, and its derivatives, from the farmer to the urban consumer ; and has found a method by which both may benefit. The pre- liminary survey touches on much social history. It was proved in a special inquiry in Derby that over 10 per cent. of poorer households took no liquid milk at all. Housewives everywhere buy the minimum. "It seems never to occur to anyone to regard milk as a beverage. We are rather amazed to hear that there is a kiosk selling glasses of milk at every busy street-corner in America. That American business men and workmen drink milk with their lunch is considered opportunity for levity."
